Vegetarian City Tacos
This recipe's filling is made by grinding walnuts and cauliflower with spices and then toasting the mixture on a pan in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 cup walnuts
- 2 cups cauliflower florets about one small head
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeds and stems removed
- 2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 Tablespoon ground cilantro
- 4 Tablespoons salsa
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 avocado peeled and cut into wedges
- 1 lime cut into 8 wedges
- 4 cups greens (such as arugula) rinsed and ready to serve
Instructions
- Place the walnuts, cauliflower, jalapeno, and seasonings in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles ground beef. Pour the cauliflower mixture onto a nonstick cookie sheet.
- Bake the mixture at 375F. Each time the top gets browned, stir it, keep browning and stirring until the mixture is browned through. You will have to stir about every 8 minutes. The whole process takes about 35 minutes.
- Heat the corn tortillas. Serve the tortillas with the taco filling, sliced avocados, prepared salsa, fresh lime wedges and a few mixed greens like arugula.
Notes
Chef's Tips: Allow everyone to make their own tacos. Or use the filling to make a taco bowl instead of tacos... or prepare a double batch and make both!
